Condition Some customers may comment that the air conditioning (A/C) is blowing warm air and/or
does not get cold.
Cause This condition may be caused by an A/C compressor failure due to a combination of low
refrigerant and/or PAG oil.
Correction Prior to replacement of the A/C compressor, perform the following Service Procedure.
Service Procedure
1. Confirm that the A/C compressor is seized.
5679383
1.1. Check the A/C compressor housings for signs
of cracks (XT4 and Malibu) as shown in the

1.2. Check the clutch hub for signs of the rubber
being torn/separated (1) (Malibu ONLY
(RPOs LFV, LTG)) and/or signs of melted
rubber (2) (XT4 and Malibu (RPO L3T))
shown in the pictures above.
1.3. Attempt to manually rotate the hub/shaft near
the center bolt. If the hub/shaft rotates freely
and there are no signs of cracks or damage to
the hub, proceed to step 2.
1.4. If the hub/shaft does not rotate or the
compressor is seized, replace the A/C
compressor and oil balancing then proceed to
step 2. Refer to Air Conditioning Compressor
Replacement and Air Conditioning
Compressor Oil Balancing in SI.
2. Inspect the A/C system for leaks.
5679468
2.1. Inspect the Internal Heat Exchanger (IHX)
welds for signs of cracks (XT4 and Malibu) as
shown in the picture above.
5679469
2.2. Inspect the condenser, including the receiver
and dehydrator cap, and also inspect for any
signs of brazed joints and connections (XT4
and Malibu) as shown in the picture above.
5679479
2.3. Inspect the A/C compressor hose to see if the
hose is rubbing against the fan shroud and
exhaust manifold (Malibu ONLY) as shown in
the picture above.
2.4. If leaks are not found at these areas, continue
leak testing the rest of the A/C system. Refer
to Leak Testing (R-1234yf) diagnostic found in
the HVAC section in SI.

- UNABLE TO SHIP THIS ITEM TO CALIFORNIA and WASHINGTON
- Replaces lost R-134a refrigerant and oil in automotive A/C system to protect and extend system life
- Comes with reusable extra-long braided charging hose and large gauge with trigger dispenser for easy, convenient, and accurate recharging
- Formula with 2X cooling boosters vs the next leading brand of A/C recharge kits: independently tested to deliver the coldest air from your vehicle's A/C
- Contains R-134a gas which is acceptable for use in motor vehicle A/C (MVAC) systems
- UNIVERSAL - ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a hydrocarbon that safely bonds with chemicals like R134a, R1234YF and R12. We can only advertise this product to be used in R134a systems due to EPA regulations in the USA on both R12 and R1234YF systems. EPA also prohibits mixing refrigerant types. See the description for all legal disclaimers.
- EASY - This product installs just as easily as any R134a products. Cans even have R134a threads and the majority of R134a can taps will work for these cans.
- 6oz CANS - Refrigerants are compressed gasses and are measured by weight, not by liquid volume such as water. All gasses compress differently and produce a different weight. ZeroR AC Refrigerant is low weight compared to R134a, but its performance is equal to 16oz of R134a.
- ECO FRIENDLY – ZeroR AC Refrigerant is a 100% Natural gas unlike R134a, R1234yf and R12.
- SAFE – ZeroR AC Refrigerant has a class 2.1 flammability rating just like the new R1234YF which is now used in 100% of newly manufactured vehicles. Under normal operating conditions this product presents no danger to its users when handled properly and used in systems approved for flammable refrigerants.
- All in one solution to restore lost refrigerant and oil in automotive air conditioning systems
- Contains system safe leak sealer additive that seals common A/C leaks in rubber hoses, gaskets and O-rings
- Built in disposable recharge hose
- No tools required
- Safe for all R-134a systems when used as directed
- Approved for use in California
- High Mileage refrigerant for vehicles over 75, 000 miles
- Contains approximately 10 oz. of R-134a and 2 oz. of additives
- Contains leak sealer to seal common A/C leaks in rubber hoses, gaskets, and O-rings
- Contains high mileage No wear additives
- Replaces lost R-134a refrigerant and oil in automotive A/C system
